“Making a Murderer” subject Steven Avery is innocent, according to a juror who voted to convict him in 2005, but recently contacted the creators of the Netflix hit to say the vote was cast only out of fear for his/her safety, the filmmakers said Tuesday.

“[The juror believed] Steven was framed by law enforcement and that he deserves a new trial,” co-creator Laura Ricciardi said during an interview on “The Today Show.” “And if he receives a new trial, in their opinion, it should take place far away from Wisconsin.”

Wisconsin-native Avery was exonerated for sexual assault after spending 18 years in prison, went on to sue Manitowoc County for $36 million, but soon after, was accused of murder in the killing of 25-year-old shutterbug Teresa Halbach.

Avery was convicted of murdering Halbach and of illegally possessing a firearm, but was found not guilty of mutilating a corpse.

“The juror contacted us directly … and went on to describe the jurors ultimately trading votes in the jury room and explicitly discussing, ‘If you vote guilty on this count, I will vote not guilty on this count.’”

The anonymous juror told the filmmakers, who followed Avery’s family for 10 years while making the documentary that was released in December, they thought their “compromise” would spur the judge to require a new trial.

“That was sort of their plan, but obviously it didn’t work out that way,” Riccardi said. Co-creator Moira Demos said the juror said possible retribution was also a factor in the vote.

“What they told us was that they feared for their personal safety,” Demos said.

The filmmakers said they have not yet contacted other jurors to independently verify any of the claims.

The documentary showed that Kratz, then 49, had been accused of texting sexual messages a 26-year-old domestic violence victim he had represented in an unrelated case.

Kratz started his texts in a friendly manner in October 2009, telling the woman she could reach out to him if she was bored, saying, “You have such potential. See ya. KEN (your favorite DA).”

Over the course of the next three days, he got more inappropriate.

“I know this is wrong. I am such an honest guy, and straight shooter…but I have to know more about you,” he wrote. “Are you the kind of girl that likes secret contact with an older married elected DA…the riskier the better?”

She continued to deny him, which only made the former Calamut County District Attorney get bolder.

“Why would such a successful, respected attorney be acting like he’s in 7th grade? Are you worried about me?” he wondered, the site reported.

Later he took his advances a step further, insulting the young victim.

“Hey…Miss Communication, what’s the sticking point? Your low-self esteem and you fear you can’t play in my big sandbox?”

“You may look good at first glance, but women that are blonde, 6ft tall, legs and great bodies don’t like to be shown off or to please their men!” he wrote. “I’m the atty. I have the $350,000 house. I have the 6-figure career. You may be the tall, young, hot nymph, but I am the prize!”

He used his final texts to quell any fears she might have about being his mistress, as he was married at the time.

“I would not expect you to be the other woman,” he wrote. “I would want you to be so hot and treat me so well that you’d be THE woman! R U that good?”

The woman sued Kratz, who settled the lawsuit in February 2013 after he resigned from his position as a top prosecutor.

Kratz, now 55, has been back in the news since “Making a Murderer” was released — slamming the documentarians for leaving out key pieces of evidence.

But Demos pushed back against claims they had an agenda in proving Avery’s innocence.
